Lahore: Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) president Maulana Fazlur Rehman has called a meeting of the leadership today (Saturday) on an urgent basis to discuss the petrol price hike, inflation, and other issues of national importance.
According to sources, the meeting will review a protest strategy against the hike in prices of petroleum products and the rise of inflation in the country.
The government had increased the price of petrol by Rs8.03 per litre, a day after Prime Minister Imran Khan had warned the nation that fuel prices would have to undergo an increase.
Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam Fazl (JUI-F) leader Hafiz Hamdullah, sharing the meeting's agenda, said the Opposition alliance will discuss its strategy for the joint session of the Parliament in the meeting.
Other issues that will be discussed by the PDM leadership include a hike in petrol prices, the surging inflation, and the alliance's strategy for anti-government protests.
The meeting will be held on Saturday at 3:30 pm.
The government has summoned a joint session of the Parliament on November 10, so that 18 bills can be passed.
These bills are related to granting overseas Pakistanis the right to vote, e-voting and the use of electronic voting machines (EVMs).
